It followed the usual pattern of two airforces, The Blue Airforce Package with AWACS, Tankers, Bombers, SEAD Fighters and defending Fighters pitched against the Aggressor Squadrons of the Red Airforce. This Flag was noteworthy because of the variety of types taking part, eighteen types in total ranging from the T-38C Talon to the F-22 Raptor<\/p>\n
